D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 - wireless router

price range: $296.99 - $336.99

The D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 is a stable performer with excellent Web interface. But because it comes in a bulky, old-school design, has a relatively short range, and carries a hefty price tag, consider waiting for the price to drop before investing in this router.
